Join Strings – Concat

Using the SQL Box in datapine, you can easily customize the appearance and content of your charts by applying advanced functions and formulas. One way to change the content of your data displayed in datapine is to use concatenation to join two or more strings. This is particularly helpful for some chart types such as dynamic textboxes to customize the content displayed on your dashboards.

 

You can try out the following example by using our demo database.
